AMX 40 is the worst IMO. All these other tanks have their own niches, while being hard to find, work well once you figure out how to use it. With the AMX 40, you are incapable of using it because all the action is over once you get there. The armor is good against tier 3 and some tier 4's, but tier 5's and 6's (which it is expected to fight) cut through it like butter. I have exactly one good memory of that tank, when i was going downhill once and an M3 Stuart was tunnel visioning. Killed him in one hit, at the cost of 17 damage to myself. I cannot stress this enough, that opportunity only presented itself once in the grind.

I played 1 battle in the amx 40. fought a B1 for 8 minutes of what eventually became two tanks sitting in the open 50m apart and doing nothing but bouncing on each other. the only reason i got a kill was becuase an A-20 rammed him self to death on me..... Rage sold and free exped to the next tank as soon as the battle was over. I would do 1,000 battles in a stock, 25% crew M3 Lee before i would even think about touching the AMX 40 again.

The M3 Lee is not that bad. It has decent mobility and it's gun is extremely solid for it's tier. People might have issues with it because there is no turret but if you play it like a TD it's one of the easier tier 4 grinds in the game. I don't get the hate for it at all, when I went to grind it I was fearing the worst and was pleasantly surprised with how usable it was.

The B1 though was a different story. The gun was total garbage, it's HUGE, it has basically no armor, and it has little mobility. I had to free xp past it after 2 battles. I voted for the DW2 though because even though I havent used it from everything I have read it's actually worse than the B1. Damage = xp, and in tanks like the B1 and DW2 that is hard to come by when you're a big target, have little mobility and your guns can't even penetrate much of of your own tier let alone the likely tier 5's or 6's it faces.

The Lee's gun allows it to rack up some decent damage and that speeds up the grind tremendously.

The Lee is bad, but it isn't even the worst tier 4, let alone the worst tank in the game. At least it has a good gun and reasonable mobility. Besides, grinding at tier 4 isn't that long, do despite the multitude of bad tanks there, it isn't that bad.

I've played most of the tanks on the poll. I voted ARL V39. The guns are decent, but the platform is so bad it is hard to make use of them. Plus, stock, it is unusable at tier 6. There is a lot of suffering in low to mid tier French tanks. The top tiers are worth it, but the French have a much larger number of really bad tanks than the other trees.
